TRACE-CMD-SNAPSHOT(1) TRACE-CMD-SNAPSHOT(1)
trace-cmd-snapshot - take, reset, free, or show a Ftrace kernel snapshot
trace-cmd snapshot [OPTIONS]
The trace-cmd(1) snapshot controls or displays the Ftrace Linux kernel snapshot feature (if the kernel supports it). This is useful to "freeze" an instance of a live trace but without stopping the trace. trace-cmd start -p function trace-cmd snapshot -s trace-cmd snapshot [ dumps the content of buffer at 'trace-cmd snapshot -s' ] trace-cmd snapshot -s trace-cmd snapshot [ dumps the new content of the buffer at the last -s operation ]
-s Take a snapshot of the currently running buffer. -r Clear out the buffer. -f Free the snapshot buffer. The buffer takes up memory inside the kernel. It is best to free it when not in use. The first -s operation will allocate it if it is not already allocated. -c cpu Operate on a per cpu snapshot (may not be fully supported by all kernels) -B buf If a buffer instance was created, then the -B option will operate on the snapshot within the buffer.
